Don't count on it. While the referees/field attendants MAY make a few attempts to free a tetra from the grasp of a robot, it would only be done if there were an obvious and simple way to do so. But remember that the referees/field attendants will not know your machine. If pushing a button or pulling a lever is required to make your robot release its grasp on the tetra, the referees/field attendants will not know that and they will not know how to actuate the release mechanism. So it is probably not a good idea to go with a design that would require that type of action.
